IMPROVEMENT 1N cHuRNs.

The Schedule referred to iuvthese Letten; Patent and making part of the same.

To whom et may concern Be A.it known that we, HEMAN s.' GUnNnY and HORACE MERRILL, of Memphis, in the count-y of Macomb and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ghurns.; and-we do def clare that the followingis a true and accurate descrip tion thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters, of reference marked thereon and being a part of this -specilcatiom in which- Figure 1 is a perspective.

Figure 2, a section, showing the adj nstability of the' motive mechanism.

Figure 3 -is a; perspective of the dasher.

Figure 4 is a cross-section, showing the method of attaching the motive mechanism to a churn the body of. which is ypottery-Work, commonly called stoneware.

Like letters indicate like partsin each figure.

This invention relates. to that class of 'implements for making butter, so constructed that a most thorough and rapid release of the fatty mattei' from the globules of the cream is accomplished, thereby rendering the process of butter-,making a short and pleasant one.

The invention consists- First, rn a dasher. of .novel construction, so formed that it most thoroughly agitates the cream and separates the fatty mattei', which, when so separated and gathered, makes the butter.

Second, in thek new and ingenious arrangement of the various parts to form a complete churn, as moreV fully hereinai-'ter set forth.

in the accompanying drawing-` A represents the body or cream-chamber of a churn, preferablyinade of pottery or stone-ware, although wood or other suitable material may be employed in its construction. A 1

When made oi' pottery-ware, the bolts a should bc inserted through the plastic clay andl remain there while the body is .being burned.

By means of these bolts ay the standard, which is bifurcated, as shown in fig. 2, is secured to the side of the body and near its top.

A plate, C, upon the rear side of which is a guide or projectionkb, which latter tits and may have a sliding motion in the bifurcation of the standard B, isY secured to's'aid 'standard by means of the bolt and thumb-nut d, so that the plate 'C may be removed or replaced at pleasure. y

To the front side of this standardA or plate C, andv at right angles therewith, is secured the rigid shaft D, upon the `outer endof which thelever E has a partially-rotary vibrating movement, it being-held in poe' sition on said shaft by means of the pin h and circular brace It, whose center embraces the shaft, as shown atv sideoi' the. segment 1* and compel the teeth of' the. Y

latter tokv engage with the pinion H, which is rigidly secured to the dasher-rod l, the upper end of which4 is stepped in the end of the standard AG, while its lower end is properly-stepped in lthe bottom of the body.

To the lower end of this dasbererod is secured the winged flasher J, which is constructed in the form shown in fig. 3, the wings s having outwm'd-curved surfaces, r, at each end, and a rectangular opening, t', in

its center, whose ends are beveled as at w. l

rIhese wings s should nearly fill the circumference ofthe interior ofthe body, and within the opening u! and at right angles with the wings s is secured the shorter double wedge-shaped wings fc.

lhis peculiar form of dasher is found veryelective,

especially when it receives a semi-rotary vibrating mo# tion from tbe mechanism hereinbefore described.

lhe operation of this churn is so simple that t'ur. ,therde'scription thereof is deemed unnecessary in this specitication.

W'he'n it is desired to remove the dasher for'any purpose, the thumb-nut should be loosened and the plate removedv from the standard, when the. cover and dasher maybe taken out.

What we claim as our invention, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. 'lhe dasher J, in combiuationwith the rod I, when the former is constructed and operating as set forth.

2. Ehe combination of' the body A, standard B, plate C, Asha-it D; lever E, segment 11, standard G, pinion H, rod I, and dashcr J, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. f-
